The 12 Steps of re:generation

A biblical path towards healing, reconciliation, and freedom.

In re:generation, you will walk with others through 12 steps, each one based on the foundation of God’s truth.

Step 1, Admit

We admit we are powerless over our addictions, brokenness and sinful patterns—that in our own power our lives are unmanageable.

“For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.”
— Romans 7:18

Step 2, Believe

We come to believe that God is the one whose power can fully restore us.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
— Psalm 103:2-5

Step 3, Trust

We decide to trust God with our lives and wills by accepting His grace through Jesus Christ.

"But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved"
— Ephesians 2:4-5

Step 4, Inventory

We make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

"Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart."
— Psalm 51:6

Step 5, Confess

We confess to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our sins.

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:7-9
